Collapse of WTO talks ushers in 'new world order': Norway

OSLO, July 30, 2008 (AFP) - The breakdown of the World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations signals a "new world order" in which the West can no longer unilaterally impose its will on the rest of the world, Norway's foreign minister said Wednesday.

"I may have been present as the world order crumbled. But at the same time, I have witnessed the emergence of a new world order where all of the world's countries are present and defend their rights," Jonas Gahr Stoere wrote in an opinion piece in the Norwegian paper of reference Aftenposten.
"Just a few years ago, the United States and the EU resolved all disputes. When they agreed on a solution, that was often the way it turned out. Those days are numbered," he wrote, pointing to the mounting influence of countries like China, India and Brazil.

The Geneva talks collapsed Tuesday after nine gruelling days of negotiations aimed at reaching a consensus on subsidy levels and import tariffs for a new deal under the WTO's seven-year-old Doha Round.

"The failure in Geneva should encourage us to develop a world order that is in line with a new era," Stoere said, insisting that the aborted talks should not be the final word on the matter.

Norway, which is not a member of the European Union, has traditionally imposed high duties on imported agricultural goods to protect its heavily subsidised farmers.

I am from India , and know this for a fact that if the World trade talks would have succeeded under the present terms, it would have meant a complete enslavement of the third world to the top corporations from the Developed nations. The long term consequences would be an inevitable food crisis and a grave threat to the livelihood of about 600 million people in India alone (twice the population of the USA) who directly depend on small scale farming for their livelihood .

This WTO thing does appear to be a tool that the "NWO" people wanted to use as a next step to world domination . And from what I have read online through google news, the western media has mostly condemned India for the stalemate without ever mentioning the realities about how the farming and food production of the second most populous nation on earth would be held at the mercy of foreign powers (interested only in financial profits) if the WTO talks had succeeded in the present form.
